I had a similar problem with the combination of 10.1 stock kernel and 8762
driver (see my post from a couple days ago). In my case 10.1 + 8762 was
unable to come up with the 1600x1200 resolution for my monitor. Going back
to the older driver, 8756, solved the problem for me. I also posted this
problem on the nvidia linux forum where the nvidia people are currently
taking a look at it.

So, the problem could actually be in the 10.1 kernel rather than in the
driver? Well, I suppose not impossible.

HTH. Good luck, Alex.
